On March 13, 1995, the Glenwood School Board adopted a weapons policy at its regular board meeting. The important points in the policy are as follows:

 

1.  Any student found in possession of a dangerous object or weapon will be subject to suspension or expulsion.  Law enforcement authorities will remove students from school property.

 

2.  Students bringing a firearm on school property or to a school-sponsored activity shall be expelled for not less than 12 months and will be referred to law enforcement authorities.

 

3.  The term "firearm" includes any weapon which is designed to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive, the frame or receiver of any such weapon, a muffler or silencer for such a weapon; or any explosive, incendiary or poison gas.  A knife of any size may be considered a dangerous object.  A student in possession of a dangerous object will be suspended or expelled.

 

4.  The principal may allow authorized persons to display weapons or other dangerous objects for educational purposes, as long as prior approval has been given.

 

If you have any questions regarding this policy, contact your building principal for clarification or more information.
